Wow big jump! How’d you do it??

Keep in mind the “rich is in the niche” - don’t be afraid to specialize in something specific and be the best at it... if it’s a specialization you love doing, and the practice has a solid future.

In the past, yes, not anymore. Design is the magic word now, with the scope of most creative titles being reduced significantly.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?

I got invited to a second round interview with a big company. The title sounds more senior than my current title, but the work responsibilities feel like a step down. I am wondering if I should still interview (to see if they will consider me for my desired role instead or at least, get some interview practice for when a better opportunity comes along). Thoughts? Is it ok to reject the offer if they make one, on the grounds of the role not being a good fit for me.
